Abstract

William Faulkner is a famous American writer, who receives the 1950 Nobel Prize for Literature. His short story, A Rose for Emily, makes a deep impression on me. Different people hold diverse opinions on the short story since its publication. Here is my thought: Emily is the victim of tradition and love.
